About the author
Li Xian (1408–1466), courtesy name Yuande, was a native of Dengzhou, Henan, and a prominent official and scholar of the Ming dynasty. A jinshi of the eighth year of the Xuande reign, he served successively as Vice Minister and Minister of Personnel, entered the Grand Secretariat, and rose to the offices of Junior Guardian and Grand Secretary of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, becoming the leading grand secretary during the Tianshun reign; he received the posthumous title Wenda. He compiled the Comprehensive Gazetteer of the Great Ming by imperial order, and his own writings include the Gu Rang Collection and the Tianshun Daily Records, together with miscellaneous notes that touch on court institutions and personal observations, offering reference material for the study of Ming politics and literati life. His works are often classified today under Eastern philosophy, history, and folk literature; public information is limited, and readers should consult the original texts.
